Taken these and previous data together, it can be concluded that
apparently neither the farm nor the fermentation method influences
the bacterial species diversity and metabolite course of cocoa
bean fermentation processes and hence the quality of fermented
dry cocoa beans and chocolates produced thereof, provided that
local agricultural and operational practices on the farm, encompassing
crop cultivation, fermentation, and post-fermentation
handling, are carried out with care. A careful selection and preprocessing
of cocoa pods and beans, regular mixing of the fermenting
cocoa pulp-bean mass, controlled duration of the
fermentation, all resulting in a restricted bacterial species diversity
during fermentation, and controlled drying with the appropriate
equipment will improve post-harvest curing of Brazilian cocoa and
hence make high-quality chocolate production possible, despite its
reputation as of inferior quality. As Lb. fermentum and
A. pasteurianus were the prevalent bacterial species during wellperformed
cocoa bean heap and box fermentations in Ghana and
Brazil, they may be used as starter cultures for homogeneous, fast,
and successful controlled fermentation processes in the future
